ASRock Rack E3C226D2I won't post after BIOS+BMC update

Hi All!

My system was working fine. Even after I updated the BIOS from 2.0 to 3.3, it posted. And then I updated BMC from 00.14.00 to 00.18.00 via IPMI. Now I am stuck with "System Initializing..." screen and nothing is happening, except BMC LED blinking. Tried several cold boots, took out the BIOS battery for 5 minutes, reinserted the battery, started the server, but no luck. At system startup, "Waiting for BMC Initializing..." screen takes up quite some time. And then it goes to and freezes at "System Initializing..." screen. Please help! Here is my system details:

Hi! Yes I was able to resolve the issue, but forgot to update this post. What you have to do is 1) remove all power connections from motherboard; 2) remove cmos battery and wait 3-5 minutes; 3) remove all rams; 4) make sure that there is no residual power; 5) wait some time and put the battery back in; 6) insert one ram stick at a tome; 7) insert power connections and power on; 8) if the system posts (it should) then insert the other memory sticks.
